"The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom." Proverbs 10:21
About two years ago on August 4, 2018, I was going through a study in the book of Proverbs and stumbled upon this verse. Being that I'm a writer, my eyes caught onto the first phrase. "The lips of the righteous feed many." So my words feed others. Your words feed others. Then the question that follows is, "What are we feeding others?" What comes out of our lips that is feeding into someone else? Is it truth? Hope? Encouragement? That's what it should be. But so often we regret the words that spew out of our mouths. They're hurtful, sharp, and painful. These things don't feed others the right message, do they? Again my question to you all is, "What are you feeding others?" As Christians, we're called to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone. With God's help, we can feed our friends and neighbors with the scriptures, with His truth, and with His love. So go out and let His Word pour from your lips.
